Technology has an impact on the brains, souls, and interpersonal lives of those who use it.  Overuse can be detrimental in each of these areas.  Doreen has an abundance of information that she brings in an creative style to equip today’s youthworkers and parents on how to stay Plugged In without Checking Out.

Doreen Dodgen-Magee is a licensed psychologist in Portland, Oregon.  She has 17 years of experience working with adults dealing with issues of loss, depression, relationships, and life transitions.  She has a sub-specialty consulting with parents experiencing difficult parenting dilemmas.  She is a contributing author to psychology for living magazine.  Doreen is a frequent guest lecturer in professional, medical, and parenting circles and offers continuing education for psychologists, medical professionals, educators, and administrators.
